Hi Emily,

Firstly the problem you describe might be your browser. I'm using
Safari on a Mac and the desired effect appears to occur, whether I use
the back button or click Home again. So this might be the reason your
not getting the expected effect.

Your Dreamweaver behaviours are embedded Javascript(s), ...

All the best,
John Unsworth



I use Firefox on Linux, with javascript disabled by default. That shows a yellow background for the current page, and no hover behaviour - fine. If I enable javascript, the yellow background appears on hover, and disappears from the current page as long as I continue the hover, which seems to be the expected behaviour. If I use the mouse to visit another page, everything behaves as expected, but if I use the browser back button, I get the effect Emily describes - the yellow background stays on the previous link and only changes when the menu is hovered over.

The same problem occurs in Epiphany (Webkit-based) but not in Chromium.

Unfortunately, I don't know enough about Dreamweaver or javascript to help here, but I'm posting this in the hope that it might assist someone who does.

Emily - you might also want to try the webdesign-l list http://webdesign-L.com/ for help. It deals with all aspects of Web design, not just standards-related.

HTH
